4.1 GNU Compiler Collection

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) consists of utilities that you can use to compile
programs, written in languages that include C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, and Fortran.
The GCC provides compilers such as gcc and g++, run-time
libraries such as libgcc, libstdc++, and
libgfortran, together with other useful tools.

The version of GCC in Oracle Linux 6 is based on the 4.4.x release series, about which you
can find more information at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/.
